Amen…
The chaos seems to be over ….
We have a President that is about ‘healing’…..
Not about making money for himself…
A leader that says he” listen to facts….
A President that is in OUR Reality….
A President and party that is and looks like ‘We the People’….
A President that isn’t gonna lie to us over and OVER….
Democracy ‘works’….
This is a start….
We must NOT let something like Donald Trump happen again…
And we must be carful to keep an eye on those among us who will try to set us back again…..
So when the inauguration actually happened Wednesday, some Biden supporters said they found themselves overcome by emotion and a wave of relief. But for many, it was coupled with anxiety that the United States is too broken, too divided for one president to repair.
Alice Boyer, a 24-year-old Democratic organizer and legislative staffer in Montana whose Blackfeet name is Tsi’koi’yiiktaan, felt a rush of optimism. With Biden, she said, there would soon be a coordinated federal response to the coronavirus pandemic….
…
After voting for Obama in 2012, she sat out the 2016 election and then wrote in Kanye West for president in November because “he’s a happy medium.” She is relieved that Trump no longer has access to nuclear weapons, but she worries that the violence seen at the U.S. Capitol will only continue and worsen in the weeks ahead because Trump’s supporters are numerous and unlikely to change their outlook.
“Their mind is pretty much made up,” said Price, who lives in Houston and is studying to be a veterinarian. “They hate Biden just as much as they love Trump.”….

A lifelong Democrat, Witherspoon often felt dismay and disbelief during the past four years.
“Never in my life did I imagine the things that we’ve witnessed take place in the Trump administration,” she said. She said that as a Black woman, she’s not naive about racism, “but I never thought I’d see white supremacy on full display. You hear people say this isn’t America. Yes it is.”
But she’d grown more hopeful since the day the election was called for Biden, when she telephoned her parents and screamed into the phone: “We did it!” She seized the opportunity on Wednesday to celebrate this moment she worried would never come.
“I feel blessed to be in this moment,” she said, savoring it….
Note…
We STILL have millions of Americans who KNOW Joe Biden won the election but won’t say he did….
Biden will try to reach out to them…
It’s unknown how successful he’ll be…..

QAnon believers were told that the Satanic-worshipping collection of child-molesting politicians and Hollywood elite would be exposed during the Trump administration, yet nothing happened!
QAnon supporters are right now in a state of total confusion. They no longer have all of the answers.
Kooks are kooks.
They’ll come up with a kooky answer or start another kooky conspiracy theory.
And let’s remember that a substantial number of Republicans either believe this garbage or at least think it may be true.
In some cases, QAnon believers will simply substitute a new conspiracy theory. At least One QAnon believer indicated thatTrump is still the president and is now pulling Biden’s strings.
But when a preacher warned that the world would end at midnight of the last day of 1999, and nothing happened, some of his flock left the church. Likewise, Some QAnon people are having second thoughts.
Right now QAnon believers are hearing contradictory conspiracy theories. And that can’t be helpful to the movement.
We need to be able to call these Q-Anon wackos wackos.
It’s ironic that so many conservatives say thry are opposed to being “politically correct” and like to “tell it like it is”
But when these conspiracy theory nuts get called what they are–nuts. Well suddenly we have to be cautious about their feelings.
Sorry. If you believe Tom Hank’s is head of an international pedophile ring that only Trump and “Q” are going to save us from you are a nut!
Hopefully these people will just tune our of politics again. These conspiracy theory types normally find all politics corrupt and boring.
In Trump they found one if their own.
I doubt they’ll be engaged by the likes of Nikki Haley, Tom Cotton or the others.
although “boring” is not a word I would use to describe Satan-worshiping child molestors!
I can see QAnon people gravitating to Ivanka, Eric or Young Donald, or for that matter Cruz or Hawley.
Anyone think that Cruz or Hawley would call these people un-informed?
Wash Post….
…The divisiveness that consumed America for the past four years seemed far from the minds, or at least attitudes, of the two people at the center of Wednesday’s ceremonies. Not once in his speech did Biden disparage the people who voted for his opponent, whose name he never mentioned.
Along a crowdless parade route, military bands played and rows of troops wielded rifles and flags. As Biden’s motorcade approached the White House, he emerged from the limousine to walk the final few blocks.
He greeted people along the way, including D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser and a few journalists.
“It’s been three hours,” “Today” show weatherman Al Roker shouted, just after Biden jogged over for a fist bump. “How does it feel, Mr. President?”
“It feels great,” Biden said….

I start the beginning of Biden’s presidency optimistic and strangely hopeful. It just might turn out that Biden is the right person for this job at this time in our history.
If there is any Democrat who can unite the country, it is Biden. Let’s hope he can.
